Chef's Mastery

💡

The Secret

For the ultimate crunch, soak your sliced potatoes in ice-cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then ensure they are bone-dry before frying.

⚠️

Avoid This

Overcrowding the fryer or pan, which lowers the oil temperature and results in greasy, limp chips instead of crisp ones.

❄️

Storage

This dish is best served immediately; the chips will lose their crispness and the cheese will become rubbery upon reheating.

Instructions

Peel the potatoes and slice them evenly into chip-sized pieces for uniform cooking. Fry until golden and crisp, then transfer immediately to a serving or oven-safe dish.

While the chips are still hot, evenly sprinkle the chopped salami over them so the residual heat releases its aroma.

Add a generous layer of mozzarella cheese. Repeat with another layer of chips and salami if desired, finishing with mozzarella on top.

Place the dish in the microwave and heat until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling. Serve immediately while hot and stretchy.
